Chapter 1, Stanza 3

How do we awaken the power (Kundalini) that is within each of us? It is possible to awaken this power by bringing energy upward through spiritual practice to the brain. We possess a tremendous power that can be harnessed when we learn to be lions of self-control.

No matter the background or religion, it is a general recommendation to avoid those things that cloud and dull the mind (lowers the energy). The entire battle of life is in the mind. Kriyananda shares that as children of the One God we have the power to become exactly what we want to be.
